Answer 1

To determine how many nights Niall will need to finish the book, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate how many pages he has left to read**:
Total pages in the book = 520 pages
Pages already read = 100 pages
Pages left to read = 520 - 100 = 420 pages

2. **Determine how many pages he reads per night**:
Pages per night = 60 pages

3. **Calculate how many nights it will take to finish reading**:
Nights needed = Pages left to read / Pages per night
Nights needed = 420 / 60 = 7 nights

Therefore, it will take Niall **7 nights** to finish the book.
